This invention relates to a clasp, by means of which pins, scarf pins, studs, brooches and the like, can be securely fastened to scarfs, dresses, ..hirts and the like. so as to prevent them from becoming accidentally dislodged therefrom.

Figure 1 represents a stud with a partial axial section of the invention, Fig. 2 is a front View of a portion of Fig. 1, Fig. 3 is a top View of Fig. 9, Fig. 4 represents an end View of a sleeve, Fig. 5 shows a top view of Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a sleeve.

In Fig. 1 the invention is shown with a stud A having its spiral A attached to a piece of material B. The invention coinprises the clamping barrel C, with its threaded end C, having the milled collar C at the lower portion thereof, and the flange C" at the end opposite to the said threaded end. A clamping sleeve 1) with flange D fits the clamping barrel C. The said sleeve has a central slot D, the opening D and the indentations D extending across the outer face of its flange D. An eye bolt E is screwed into the threaded portion of the clamping barrel 0, and has the eye E, through which is inserted the spiral A of the stud. When the clamping barrel C is screwed up tight, the said spiral is clamped between the inner face of the eye E, and the indentations D of the clamping sleeve D. It is evident that the clamping barrel can be adj ustably supported on the eye bolt for spirals, or pins of various diameters.
